Benefits of Reading Aloud to your Children

Online Gaming

"The digital world that we live in can be a minefield for families and parents/carers. The way in which children ‘game’ now is completely different to how modern day parents and carers would have experienced. The ‘monetization’ of gaming is at the forefront of research and there are increasing concerns surrounding online gaming and the subsequent links this has with underage gambling." from National Online Safety.

School Happenings

Electrical Energy Safety Presentation
All fourth grade classes attended an electric energy safety presentation on February 3rd.  The fourth graders learned about the types of electricity, how to be safe near electricity and how to conserve energy.  The presentation was conducted by Stearns Electric Association. Students brought home a safety checklist to go over with their families. Students also have the opportunity to show what they learned by entering a safety coloring contest.

Middle Level Analyzing

Below are some of our middle school students working on analyzing author's viewpoint, main idea, and theme in 3 different non-fiction stories with the help of guiding questions.
